Climate change
In 2019, Farnham Town Council declared a climate emergency and committed to take action to reduce carbon emissions at a local level.
Councillors resolved that Farnham Town Council:
- Agrees there is a “Climate Emergency” that requires further action.
- Aims to become carbon neutral by 2030, acting directly on activities within its responsibility, and in cooperation with principal authorities.
- Continues to review its operations and the way in which it delivers services and develop an action plan to consider positive changes that would reduce carbon emissions.
- Recognises that to achieve its carbon neutral targets, it is essential for central government to provide powers, funding and other resources; so, the Council calls on UK Government and local climate change partnerships to provide the necessary support.
- Continues to encourage the local Farnham community to take all practical steps to reduce its own carbon footprint and safeguard the environment.
